The Phoenix Suns came into the Summer League playoffs at 3-0, taking on the 0-3 Sixers. The Summer League doesn’t mean much. Individual performances are far more important than wins and losses. But based on the quality of each roster, the Suns should’ve never lost that game.
The Suns roster should be way too good for any other team to compete. Last year’s fourth overall pick Josh Jackson has struggled mightily, but even after it was announced he would miss the rest of the Summer League, the team was still loaded with top draft picks.
The Suns are headlined by this year’s first pick in Deandre Ayton, tenth pick in Mikal Bridges, 31st pick in Elie Okobo, and 59th pick in George King.
